Okay, I know this thread wont be super awesome, but I haven't done jack to my car in so long, not that I have much done anyways haha. I did the DIY foglight re-wire things to my car, took like, 10 minutes.

HAHHA, I know, my other bulb went out, cheap 30 dollar for a pair halogen bulbs. Lasted me a good 6 months. I'm currently waiting for my HID kit for my foglights and also HID bulbs for my headlights, should be coming in a week or so, so I will update afterwards! Time to switch from 4300k and 3000k to 6000k both! :D

Jedi54 11-11-2009 10:09 PM

super easy to do the rewire

rodjonathan 11-11-2009 10:15 PM

k ima look it up and do it soon

DavidR 11-12-2009 12:02 AM

Super easy! Just needed the tabs and scissors!

Yeah, the only problem I had was trying to figure out how to keep the copper part of the wire in the tab, because it can somewhat-easily slip out :[ If there's a method to make it stick in there easier, I'd be happy to take advice :)

DavidR 11-16-2009 10:10 PM

Yay, finally finished installing the HID for fogs. Crappy phone picture. Oh and I also took out the bulb reflector thingy.

If you are using Tab splices the blue ones should be good, you will need to get a good bite on the metal splice with a pair of pliers. The wire should not slip out if installed properly. Looking forward to some more pics with all HID!

I want.

DavidR 11-17-2009 12:47 AM

Huey52 11-17-2009 06:40 AM

But they're down low Josh. ;)

altspace 11-17-2009 06:42 AM

Haha...oh right. ;) I've seen our fogs with the tabs removed and yellow bulbs, crazy bright!

RedRocket8 11-17-2009 11:10 AM

Now change your parking light bulbs to match. PITA to get those bulbs out though.
Certain LED's (194's) will fit right in.

DavidR 11-17-2009 10:16 PM

Okay, this is for the fog light conversion:

and these are for the HID bulbs for the headlights:
http://www.vvme.com/single-beam-hid-....html?cPath=15

Headlights are ds2, fogs are h11

DavidR 11-17-2009 10:20 PM

What's the price on those? Like 15 bucks?

Alucard 11-18-2009 04:20 PM

DavidR 11-18-2009 05:09 PM
